Start Wave Standards
Start wave standards are a guideline each year to determine wave placement. The standards are based off the qualifying times that were submitted during registration. During the verification process, it may be necessary to adjust the previous year’s standards to accommodate the range of qualifying times and numer of participants. If you want to participate with someone in a slower start wave, you can simply move back to participate together. Wave change requests can only be considered by visiting the Solutions Desk at the Peachtree Health & Fitness Expo by Publix on July 2 or July 3.
